Critics Review

‘Sheer, wonderful storytelling’

Mr Delderfield’s manner is easy, modest, heartwarming - Evening Standard

R F Delderfield is a born storyteller - Sunday Mirror

Sheer, wonderful storytelling - Chicago Tribune

‘It is always a pleasure to read R F Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well’ - Books and Bookmen

Highly recommended. Combines tension with a splendid sense of atmosphere and vivid characterisation. An excellent read - Sunday Express

He built an imposing artistic social history that promises to join those of his great forebears in the long, noble line of the English novel. His narratives belong in a tradition that goes back to John Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett - Life Magazine
